We’re Mind, the mental health charity.

We’ll listen, give you support and advice, and fight your corner. And we’ll push for a better deal and respect for everyone experiencing a mental health problem.

The British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy is the professional association for members of the counselling professions in the UK.
Counselling changes not just the lives of individuals, but of families and communities.
Our desire for social justice determines everything we do and guides our relationship with our members and the public, as well as commissioners and government. It’s why we champion the counselling professions as a viable, and increasingly evidence-based choice for people. We know counselling works.
We’re alongside our members throughout their careers and put them at the heart of what we do. We understand their needs and support them in making a positive difference to the mental wellbeing of their clients.
We do this by promoting and facilitating research to produce trusted best practice, and by providing a robust framework to ensure the profession follows and adheres to the highest possible standards that protect individuals seeking therapy.
As a result, we help the general public, individuals and commissioners make better, more informed choices about the provision of counselling, and continue to raise the ethical and professional standards of the profession.
Established in 1985, Oasis Charitable Trust is a multi-national charity committed to helping deprived communities lift themselves out of poverty. We believe that only when you invest in a whole community can you expect to truly reach and have an impact on the lives of its most vulnerable members. That’s why we work to create a new sense of ‘neighbourhood’, a new sense of belonging and interdependency: a hub. There isn’t a blueprint for what a hub looks like, or even what it does. They are different in each location. Some of the support services we offer include: supported housing, 1-2-1 counselling, food banks, parent and child playgroups and even debt advice. One thing that remains the same is that each hub is centred on a school, which provides high quality education alongside transformational community work. Oasis’ initiatives are designed to improve all aspects of a young person’s life, delivering holistic, long-term support rather than temporary solutions. In essence, we respond to community needs by transforming them into thriving environment’s where every person feels safe and included.
